MP'S LETTERS:

10

ALLEGED CRUELTY TO DOGS IN HONG KONG

Lord Balniel MP has written to Miss Lestor enclosing a letter from one of his constituents, Mrs Vera Galloway, about an article which appeared in the Sunday People on 23 June.

When the article first appeared we sent a copy to Hong Kong and consulted them on how to deal with the letters we expected it to lead to. They have now given their advice in Hong Kong telegram No 741. I accordingly submit a draft reply to Lord Balniel, based on this advice.

3.

I also submit draft replies on the same lines to similar letters from Mr Peter Rees MP to the Secretary of State and from Mr Ernle Money MP to Mr Ennals.

4.

I propose to reply similarly direct to a number of other letters on the subject from private individuals and organisations.

5.

The Department's Legal Adviser agrees.
